2general unix/linux/windows + maya interface: u know open things zoom pan... tools, viewports, renderview... UI, panels, attribute editor, multilister/hypershade...
3 testing what the tabs on the modeling menu do one by one:
curves nurbs polys... what they are and are used for, what are the little squares next to some tools names...(teach em the deformers with the modeling) breacktrough: importing references and palacing em on the viewports
